Greetings, colleagues.  I've been watching Warner Bros. cartoons from the 
1940s, and I need to identify the source for a catch phrase.  I know that 
Jimmy Durante said, "Everybody's wants to get into the act," and that Fats 
Waller said, "What's the matter with him?"  But who said, "That's what the 
man said"?  Or maybe it's "That's what he said, that's what the man said." 
 

Please help.

Cheers,
        krin
